About This Stotram
108 Names of Goddess Sita
Sanskrit Title: 108 Names of Goddess Sita
IAST Transliteration:
Overview
The Sita Ashtottara Shatanamavali is a powerful devotional hymn that enumerates 108 sacred names of Goddess Sita, the consort of Lord Rama. Each name reveals a unique aspect of her divine personality, her lineage, her virtues, and her role in the cosmic drama. Reciting these names is a form of japa (mantra repetition) that allows devotees to connect with Sita's divine energy, seek her blessings, and internalize her exemplary qualities. Sita is revered as the embodiment of purity, devotion, strength, and righteousness. Her story, particularly her trials and unwavering steadfastness, serves as an inspiration for devotees. This stotram is significant for fostering devotion, seeking protection, and achieving spiritual merit through the remembrance of the Divine Mother.
